Movie Notes
KING OF WILD HORSES
DOES THRILLING STUNTS
In all the years of his wild, care
free, outlaw life, the beautiful
powerful Black had never known
defeat among his own, or capture
by man. He was of a breed that
knew not bit nor bridle—a king
among his kind—the vast plains for
his kingdom, a herd of mares for
his subjects, a high cliff for his
throne, from which he kept eternal
vigilance.
The Black is the beautiful, wild
stallion whose story of love and
fidelity is told in << The King of
Wild Horses,” a Pathepicture.
The horse, untamed and powerful,
really a king among his kind, per
forms many daring stunts. With
out a rider on his back he leaps
across a broad chasm; he fights off
a white stallion who tries to steal
llis herd; he rushes into the fiery
lurnace of a forest fire; he dives
from a high cliff into a swirling
whirlpool.
“The King of Wild Horses” will
be the main attraction at the Ala
mo theatre Saturday. Edna Mur
phy, Leon Bary, Charles Parrott,
Patt Hartigan and Sidney DeGrey
play the leading roles. Fred Jack
man directed.

PAY YOURSELF
It’s great to “spend” money when
you pay it over to yourself. There’s
a thrill about it—a peculiar satis
faction—a feeling of security.
Hundreds of our depositors enjoy
this sense of security as they make
regular deposits in their accounts.
They know they are just taking it
from themselves now, in small sums,
to be used later for a home, a farm,
or a business or for investment. To
what they save we add compound in
terest and this makes their balances
grow.
